Fuel Wankers.

I filled up at Tesco, with diesel, at 158.9 at tea time then drove past BP on Foregate tonight and it was 172.9. That disparity alone is criminal never mind what Texaco are charging!
Will we learn anything from all of this? Probably not.
Billionaires creating more billions for shareholders and increasing profits while the public get hit yet again.

Texaco on lammascote is now charging over 190p per litre for diesel.... Can't remember the exact amount.... Definitely price gouging, there's no chance they've gone through a tanker full in the last few days!!!

"Charge what the market will bear" is probably their idea nowadays.
It'll probably stay at 199.9p for quite a while before hitting £2.

There charging what they believe the consumer will pay if the consumer doesn't like the price asked they can drive around the corner and pay around 35ppl or £19 a tank less

 

[Glam]

The one by the prison int half expensive too.

Filled up at Tesco today (at 18-15). Diesel was £1-58.9. It was busy but I didn’t have to queue, it got busier as I was there though. I drove past the filling station by the gaol & diesel was £1-89.9, unleaded £178.9. The forecourt was empty.

Out on a bike ride today Texaco Lammescote Road Diesel was £1.94.9 / L , At Gnosall Co-op Filling station £1.66 / L Who's taking the P???

Perhaps, if people were to put up informative signs at the more expensive locations..?

The Texaco by the jail was 165.9 for diesel this morning.

Probably wouldn't be that useful because the prices are changing so often.

Bit like that person who keeps posting (at least 3 times a day) screenshots of the PetrolPrices app on Spotted Stafford. Don't they realise the information in that app is normally days out of date.

I expect plod would prosecute anyone who did to the full extent of the law.

True dat.....

Definitely £1-89 at 6-30pm. There was a tanker tucked away at the side of the forecourt at the time that didn’t look occupied. Maybe they’d just had a delivery?

It is indeed price gouging. I passed three stations in Wolverhampton yesterday where the prices are still sub 150p per litre for unleaded and sun 160p per litre diesel. BP and x2 Texaco garages. That said Lammascote seems to have become expensive in general since changing hands

 

[Lucy]

Definitely cheaper a bit further south. I paid £151.9 for diesel in Walsall on Tuesday.

 

[joshua]

£1.56 u/l at Morrisons in Stone

It's called war profiteering.

Utter rubbish
I get the emotion - but it isn’t scientific is it - you don’t know their buying price,
It's all about flogging product, you have to shift a lot of it at a fair mark-up to pay the wages and bills.
If you run out of product, the landlord still wants rent and the staff still want wages.

Difficult time for many people.

No way. Prices started going up whilst they still had existing fuel stocks unaffected by price rises and wars.

Profiteering, pure and simple.

What proactive said.... the oil for fuel currently in the stations would have been taken out of the ground months ago.
